Smoque is ok, their brisket is the best thing they do imho. With that said the only bbq in Chicago I will actually pay money for is @ Honey 1. Spares, tips & links. Honey 1 BBQ 2241 N. Western Chicago, IL.

I always start out with a fresh ring of lump when using the WSM. for consistancy mostly Any leftover lump from a previous smoke gets tossed in the chimney starter & I use it up that way.

thanks Jim, a bite of the salted grilled jalapeno, and then a bite of one of the tacos taco was great.

spares are $1.59 - $1.79 lb @ my RD. Babybacks arn't even $3.99. they are $2.49 - $2.79/lb. really interesting the price differences in different areas of the country.

thanks, the rib rack is ok, and fits the spares better than the bb's(I had to remove a few of the slots to get the bb's in. THe rack also fit better on the bottom rack of the WSM, it was a tight squeeze to get the bb's on the top rack of the WSM at first, much easier after a few hours afther...
